Experts say North Korea may be trying to test new capabilities that may be fed into its efforts to build an ICBM

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has vowed to join forces with the US to take action against North Korea after Kim Jong-un's regime launched its third missile in as many weeks.
North Korea fired at least one short-range ballistic missile that landed in the sea off its east coast, the latest in a fast-paced series of missile tests defying world pressure and threats of more sanctions.


The missile was fired on Monday from the region of Wonsan in an easterly direction into the Sea of Japan, South Korea's military said.
Abe said on Monday: 'As we agreed at the recent G7, the issue of North Korea is a top priority for the international community.
'Working with the United States, we will take specific action to deter North Korea.


The Japanese leader vowed his country will make utmost efforts to protect its people, while staying in close touch with South Korea and other countries.
The rocket was believed to be a Scud-class ballistic missile and flew about 450 km (280 miles), South Korean officials said. North Korea has a large stockpile of the short-range missiles, originally developed by the Soviet Union.
Monday's launch followed two successful tests of medium- to long-range missiles in as many weeks by Pyongyang, which has been conducting such tests at an unprecedented pace in an effort to develop an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of hitting the mainland United States.
Kim Jong-un has tested Scud-type short-range missiles many times in the past, most recently in April, according to U.S. officials. However, experts say it may be trying to test new capabilities that may be fed into its efforts to build an ICBM.

There are many possibilities ... It could have been a test for a different type of engine. Or to verify the credibility of the main engine for ICBM's first stage rocket,' said Kim Dong-yub, a military expert at Kyungnam University's Far Eastern Studies department in Seoul.
Modified versions of the Scud have a range of up to 1,000 km (620 miles).


On Tuesday, the United States will test an existing missile defence system to try to intercept an ICBM, the first such test, officials said last week.
Monday's launch was immediately reported to President Moon Jae-in, who called a meeting of the National Security Council, the South Korean office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement.
